Suggest Treatment For Snoring,bad Breath And Shortness Of Breath

Dear Doctor, I am the mother of a two year old girl with multiple food allergies, causing severe skin rashes and itching. We were doing ok with the management of this but recently she has been very disrupted in the night, every hour or so. She snores heavily, her nose appears either blocked or runny, she breathes through her mouth, her breath smells fishy and more morrying, we watched her last night and every now and again she seems to stop breathing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, she has been through so much, she is also being seen for GI issues. She is of normal development and otherwise thriving. Thank you very much for your assistance. Anna

Hello,

Sleep problems with snores and apnea are suggesting her airways are blocked constantly. Immediate consultation with lung pediatrician is highly recommended plus ENT doctor to check for nasal polyps.

She needs steroid nasal spray to open airways.
Apply vapour rub on her chest and upper back at bedtime.
Apply nasal decongestant.

Give allergy syrup containing thyme.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
